michael steele, last word on this. do you think romney's going to keep this up, just go negative on this guy until he croaks him? >> i think howard's right about that part of it, is certainly part of the game plan. but two quick things. the president is going out there campaigning now because he's getting hurt politically by the numbers on gas prices. number two, romney's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. you're telling him he's got to go out there and be direct, and when he is, people are saying, why are you so direct? so he's got to figure out and be comfortable with himself and do his thing and work his way through this nomination process. the other two guys aren't going away. this is going to be a slog, as you know, chris, and we are just battening down for it and just working it out. >> we like a good fight here at "hardball," and we're looking for a good fight in illinois. i hope santorum can hold his own, i want a really good fight come tuesday night out there. it looks like it's coming. michael steele
